Abstract

A gas-insulated high-voltage switching includes a housing having a switch module including an actuator, a control module, a cable outlet, a transformer, a circuit breaker, and a grounding switch. The circuit breaker and the grounding switch are spatially and structurally separated from one another and may be operated by a common actuator.
